mouthsounds

In which the father learns from his son how the Supreme Court works. Also, a review of the pandemic, revelations about the effects of podcasting, the value of university coursework, and other reflection.

This eclectic 10-question episode covers lots of ground, including stories from Adam to Reed about how the days of old transpired with the advent of email, CDs (and mixtapes, too!), and no glimmer of Netflix or even the internet as a web of information. We also steer discussion towards important books and their merits, the greatest pop piano players, and stupid things that college students do, pas...

In which we get back to our roots, a typical review episode, but with the special addition of a guest. Along with Emma, we review Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings . And, we also review Utah. Spoiler alert: Both are good. Other bonus information and discussions about school, brine flies, Reed's brush with a failing grade, and many other diversions.

In which we take on the technical challenge of recording ourselves and samples of audio all at the same time. We came across the idea to review song covers -- remakes of original songs -- in comparison with the originals, when Adam was trying to get ideas for how to play Dua Lipa's "Levitating" on the piano. The rest was a deep dive into so many other songs and how artists recreate something to ma...

In which we revisit our new occasional feature of 10 Questions posed by each of us. Deep discussion of pressing issues ensues, including Santa Claus, conspiracy theories, the French tuck, and our overall life purposes, trajectories, and aspirations. Also includes acknowledgement of our sponsors-in-spirit along with some post-op and post-holiday recap. (And, if you listen closely enough you can hea...

During Thanksgiving break, Adam and Reed were able to record in the same room with the help of a borrowed mic and some borrowed time. We changed things up by devoting our podcast to 10 questions we each came up with to ask the other. We almost talked about feelings. And also, Darth Vader.

In which Adam and Reed discuss a visit that includes a walk in the forests of Western Oregon. We also discuss some music and the best coffee.

It's a good bet that there is no other podcast that considers both John Belushi and Jane Goodall in the same conversation. Reed and Adam review Blues Brothers, talk about college food, and discuss the merits of the game of cribbage.

In which Reed and Adam talk about being back in school and what they're learning so far. A review of a Mary Oliver poem and a check of the listener mailbag is included. (Spoiler: There was no mail to respond to, but you can contact us at dearmouthsounds@gmail.com and we'll respond in a future episode. Probably.)

A special edition of mouthsounds in which we record from a stranger's RV in western Oregon. More important, we've just completed a day's drive in preparation for moving Reed into the dorm for year 2 of college. We discuss the roadtrip and what to expect and hope for in school.

Reed and Adam review Schitt's Creek and then discuss favorite TV shows and admirable characters, on screen and otherwise.

Our second episode features a surprise guest, consideration of favorite foods, a best trip, and the potential of a new pet. Also, we muse about whether or not we could have sponsors and intro/outro music.

Our first episode, which we like to call "Episode IV, A New Hope." In this podcast, we introduce "Mouthsounds," both the idea and why we use it as our podcast title. We review "Black Widow," talk about coffee shops and teaching, and generally warm up for future podcast recordings.
